Love Never Dies - Phantom of the Opera's spectacular sequel - returns to the story 10 years after the Phantom's disappearance from the Paris Opera House. Escaped to a new life in New York, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is Christine Daaé - the young soprano whose sensational talent enchanted the Phantom and saw him fall deeply and dangerously in love.
In a final bid to win her back, the Phantom lures Christine, her husband, and their young son Gustave to America to perform one final time. As old wounds are reopened and forgotten memories unlocked, the Phantom sets out to prove that, indeed, Love Never Dies.
The original production of Love Never Dies has music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, book by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton with Glenn Slater and Frederick Forsyth, lyrics by Glenn Slater with additional lyrics by Charles Hart and orchestrations by David Cullen and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
This concert production comes as Cameron Mackintosh's production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera celebrates its 40th year in London's West End at His Majesty's Theatre. Phantom of the Opera is widely considered one of the world's most beautiful and spectacular musicals. Since 1986, the global phenomenon has played to over 160 million people in 217 cities, 58 territories and 23 languages.
